Brother stayed home and saw the parcel in for me. All have arrived safe and sound. Each spiderling was in a camera film pot, in damp tissue, then all 5 inside a box with polystyrene.

Dashed to the reptile shop to get some coconut fibre substrate then came home and unpacked them.

All seem very well. The B. emilia and the B. albopilosum are TINY! The A. versi has a damaged foot. The P. ornata and P. pulcher look great!
